Reliable web page capture...

<< < (2/16) > >>

Zotero is certainly interesting. However, although I am a dedicated Firefox user, I am trying to make sure that my long-term home for web page clippings is independent of any browser.

Also with Zotero/Scrapbook etc, it's difficult to mix and match other types of data if you're putting together a research project. That's where programs such as Ultra Recall show their strength.

Thanks for your response, cmpm, but that's not quite what I'm after. Fireshot is a screen capture add-on.

I'm perfectly happy with Scrapbook (or Local Website Archive) as a reliable web page capture program. What I want is for one of the heavyweight information managers (named in my first post) to improve their programs and start providing bullet-proof web page capture (which they should be doing already).

What sparked this post was a thread in the Kinook forums where I and others raised this issue about Ultra Recall:

John,

Notice that the last post there at the Kinook thread is from me.  And I also have licenses for Evernote and Local Website Archive.

I agree completely that none capture web pages well - at least not visually.  I'll be following this thread carefully as my needs seem to match up.

I'm not sure about this one.
It's $50, but seems like a possible.

John,

Also following over from the UR thread where I mentioned that the IE .mht format also does the job. It would appear that there are some methods of capture that go deeper into the browser than others - obviously any method originating from (within) the browser is going to have an advantage. I don't know enough about the inner working to offer anything other than observed results.

Thanks for the comparison.

The server edition of WebShot comes with a DLL that will allow you to embed WebShot technology in your own applications.

I keep finding more! Love the hunt when something is found.
